Does anyone know how to change the default setting so registered users would be notified by default when some one replies to their post?_________________Image link

You have to change the default value (if my memory is correct it's a one-line change) in the registration process. I'll get the code changes posted tonight, as I don't have access to the source right now.

If you are going to default the email profile option to "on" my suggestion would be to make sure you tell your users that during the registration process. In my experience most folks don't want more email, they want less._________________phpBBDoctor Blog

This should be a small change though I don't think it will be offensive considering they should be able to change it if they wish to and it will only mail then when a topic they are involved in is replied to.

Its kind of a test to see if it will increase the involvement of the members.

I may change it back later if they don't like it.

I have been looking for that one line all morning lol.

I think it might be in the usercp_register.php but I didn't want to change it if it only moved the default tick mark over with out setting the value properly.

Thanks for looking into this for me. _________________Image link

Change the very last 0 to a 1. That's it. What it will do is check to see if the user has made a selection, and if so, it will take the selection they made, otherwise it will default to 1 (on) instead of 0 (off).

Give it a shot, but I'm fairly confident that's where you need to make the change. The final line would look like this:
